Hi RaceRender team, thanks for such great software. Of course I do own the Ultimate edition. v3.7.3
One frustration though comes from importing GoPro Hero 7 GPS data, because in each and every case there are errors in the GX******-RR_Data_Merged.csv file.
I use the GoPro Hero Black 7 with h.264 file format. I use the one button record mechanism that turns on the gopro and starts the video right away.
Two issues:
- GoPro QuickCapture (turn-on and record with single button click): Video recording starts about 3 seconds after turning on GoPro. However as GPS reception takes 10-30 seconds, the resulting GPS data extract of RaceRender does not align the GPS data with the video properly. My workaround is to always need to use the side-by-side-sync and align the ends of the merged video and merged CSV. please fix this issue, you have the data to align GPS data automatically to each end of the video.
- GPS data has errors. Either due to wrong import or due to wrong reception/writing by GoPro. However, such drastically false data can be easily detected and remediated. Simply replace by previous valid data or delete this data granted RaceRender users the timestamps properly to deal with gaps in GPS data.
Here is an example of bogus GPS data in the CSV:

Would be awesome to fix those issues as those always cost hours and less technical will treat RR as too complicated if not fixed.
Thanks,
